Teenagers can be called a “technology” generation. They get hooked on mobiles, laptops, and televisions. They enjoy surfing webs to find information and making friends with other teens all around the world. They prefer sitting in front of the computer playing games to participating in outdoor activities. Because teenagers spend much time living in the virtural world, sometimes they forget the reality. They may become lazy and forget about time. A lot of teenagers do not complete their homework and fail important examinations. Others may feel very tired because they play computer games for too long. As a result, they feel sleepy during class time and can’t concentrate on their lessons. Lots of parents are trying to find ways to reduce their children’s interest in technology. Some parents only allow their children to use computers for under one hour a day. Others take their children to sport clubs such as football, swimming so that the teenagers will become healthier.
